Lead Qualification & Scoring Solutions for Eyewear/Optical Retailers

{"faqs":[{"answer":"You set the qualification questions and define what counts as a qualified lead — for example, someone ready to book an exam or looking to purchase frames. Every lead is automatically scored against your rules, and only leads that meet your bar get routed to your team or booked directly into your calendar.","question":"How does lead qualification and scoring work for an optical shop selling frames and contact lenses?"},{"answer":"Nothing goes to voicemail. CallMyLeads answers inbound calls 24/7/365, including nights, weekends, holidays, and peak season. Callers can reach a human, text, or book online, and every caller always knows they're talking to AI — clear disclosure is a feature, not something hidden.","question":"What happens when a patient calls about frames after hours and nobody's at the dispensary?"},{"answer":"Yes. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws are followed, opt-outs are honored immediately and automatically, and the booking flow collects explicit consent. Spam numbers are also screened before they waste your team's time.","question":"Does the texting follow US carrier and telemarketing rules for patient outreach?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle your plan. From there, setup is done for you: your lead sources — website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referrals — are connected, your response rules are set, and everything runs automatically into your existing CRM and calendar. A one-time flat setup fee is quoted upfront and waived on annual plans.","question":"How long does setup take before my eyewear leads start getting answered?"},{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage for 24/7/365 answering would take at least two full-time hires — CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary. Pricing is per-minute with no seats, from 9¢/min at volume, no contract, and you can cancel anytime. Only minutes actually handling leads are billed; screened spam and robocalls never cost you a cent.","question":"Why choose this over hiring a receptionist or using an answering service for my optical store?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We join your website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referral sources into one response system — done for you."},{"step":"2","title":"Set Your Response Rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"You choose the first message, qualification questions, what counts as a qualified eyewear lead, and when to route to your team.

With 92% of U.S. adults — more than 240 million people — regularly using some form of eyewear, every missed call is a frame sale, lens upgrade, or exam booking walking into a big-box or online competitor.
